A white paper describing the test is available for download at http://www.skyfuel.com/downloads/SkyTroughEfficiency(SkyFuel).pdf.

This line does not make sense. Thermal Efficiency is unitless. Later you say \”thermal-to-electricity loss is only 27%\”
This suggests you mean thermal efficiency is 73%. This sounds rather high. I think the most efficient generators are only 60% efficient, since Solar Collectors must incorporate such generators they cannot be more efficient than this. I could be wrong. Please clarify.
